I still get goosebumps

Everytime I see this video.
They performed it again tonight.
AMAZING!!!




I was sad to see Melissa and Ade go.
I was hoping it was Evan and Kayla.
But I guess in the end as long as Jeanine wins I'm happy.
I am also sad to report that last night
there was not a dance that really stood out.
Super bummed about that.
Next week is the finale.
So stay tuned!

Movie Quote Friday!

The Prince and Me

Paige: Sometimes I wish I could just fast forward the next five years...
Beth: I hate it when she starts to talk about her life plan.
Paige: He was quoting Shakespeare like some duke, lord guy. I hate phonies like that.
______________________________________________________________
Paige: Where's Eddie?
Scotty: Oh, you mean, prince-who-ate-my-triscuits-and-didn't-replace-them?
______________________________________________________________
Eddie: [reading Shakespeare's 148 sonnet] "O me! What eyes hath love put in my head/ Which have no correspondence with true sight?/ Or if they have where is my judgment fled/ That censures falsely what they see aright?" It's beautiful.
Paige: It's gibberish. I have no idea what he's saying.
Eddie: Well, he's saying that love is magical, and that it makes people look at each other in an unspoiled way, without judgment.
Paige: Why doesn't he just say that? Why can't people just say what they mean?
Eddie: Well, people rarely say what they mean. That's the interesting part, is... is what's going on underneath the surface. See, take line. The sun itself sees not until heaven clears. What does that mean to you?
Paige: That the sun can't shine when it's cloudy.
Eddie: No. You're being too literal. See, don't just go for the obvious. See, all these words, they have multiple meanings, and you have to explore the possibilities and then make your choice. See, like the word "sun", that could mean the actual sun, or it can mean light. But then "light" can mean knowledge or reason.
Paige: That could go on forever.
Eddie: Yes. Yes, it could. But I think in this case it means reason. And then "heaven" may refer to the pearly gates, or it could mean a state of being, you know, like being happy or in love. So now read it again, taking in all the possibilities, and tell me what you think it means.
Paige: The sun itself sees not until heaven clears. I guess it means that love blinds you. And when you're in love, you can't think reasonably.
Eddie: Do you agree?
Paige: Yeah... I mean, it's just a poem.
Eddie: Yeah... Yeah, it's just a poem.
Eddie: This Saturday evening there's a party at Brenner hall, a gathering. I was wondering if you would like to accompany me?
Paige: Accompany you?
Eddie: Oh, right, yes, how do you say it colloquially? Um, yo dog, there's a party kicking at my crib if you want to roll down there with me.
Paige: That was just sad, don't ever do that again.
Paige: Could you please put a shirt on or something?
Eddie: If you're going to be a doctor, you're going to have to get used to naked men.
____________________________________________________________
Soren: The chances of a relationship between yourself and Miss Paige are not promising. You two are of a completely different caliber.
Eddie: Soren, just cause she isn't royalty doesn't mean she's not important.
Soren: The higher caliber I was referring to, sir, was hers.
Soren: Good heavens!
[as he enters the dorm room]
Soren: I thought you had to be convicted of a crime before you lived somewhere like this.
Eddie: Well it's not that bad. Plus, we haven't seen the rest of it yet.
[opens closet door]
Soren: Apparently, this is the rest of it.
Eddie: Well I like it. And I'll even let you have first choice of the beds.
Soren: Ooo, heavens, which stained mattress shall I choose?
Scotty: [enters, coughing, sniffling, and clearing throat] You the new guys? I'm Scotty. All right, all my food's labeled, so I'll know if you ate anything. I'm allergic to dairy, shellfish, red meat, melon, nuts, and kiwi, so don't bring any of that stuff around here.
[sits down at computer]
Scotty: The X-box is off limits. If you screw up any of my high scores, I'll blind you with my laser pointer. Eddie: Today marks a profound and bittersweet milestone for all of us, as we bear witness to both an end and a beginning. And while we must continue on, we must also be grateful to have been blessed with someone who has so ably guided us to where we are today. When there has been so much love and happiness for someone, it is natural to be reluctant to close such a wonderful chapter in our lives, for moving forward is rarely accomplished without considerable grief and sadness. And while our sorrow may be profound, the clouds will clear, and the sun will shine on us again. And in that warm, bright light we will find ourselves facing a glorious future. A future of exciting challenges and infinite possibilities, in which the horizon will stretch out before us, trimmed in the heavenly glow of the sunrise of our tomorrow.
Paige: Am I supposed to be able to breathe?
Dress Maker: No.
Paige: Oh, well, then it's perfect.
Paige: Denmark isn't ready for a Queen like me.
Eddie: Well then they'll have to be. Because I am.

Letter to him

To the {future} Keeper of My Heart

Is it weird that I miss and I and don’t even know you?
Today was a hard day for some reason.

Jut wanted to share a little something. When I was younger I thought, “when I get married I will finally be happy, life will be perfect.” In these past few years I have learned that finding you won't solve all my problems. If anything life gets a bit more difficult. And I am learning why I have had to wait and am continuing to wait for you. {I think I will share that later}. It does have its ups and downs. But you know what. I can honestly say I can’t wait. I am looking forward to that chapter in my life.

And while I am waiting for you I am continuing to learn. I’m finding joy in the journey!

XoOxxOoX,

Me

{Please hurry}

KEITH URBAN!!!!!!

WARNING: Extra long post with lots of pictures and videos.
{Mom, Callie, and I by their seats with the stage behind us}

With some changes in tickets and stuff Erin and I sat together in the seats I had on the floor.
Erin gave her tickets to my Mom and Callie up in section 220.{This is a picture Mom took from their seats seeing where I sat. You can actually see me standing there.}Sarah Buxton opened for him because Sugarland canceled.
She did a great job, I did not know any of her songs but I want to get her CD now.
Keith was on for an extra long time {I think because Sugarland was not there} which I was more than happy about. He got on stage at 8:30 and did not finish until just after 11:00.
We were in Row 29. It seemed half way between the main stage and the small stage he had in the back. He came through the crowd twice to get to that stage and another side stage.
It was super awesome.
We were able to stand on our chairs to see him better.
The second time he came to this little side stage right next to our row.
Hope you like the videos as much as I do.
Also hope you don't mind my backup vocals and me and Erin screaming...HaHa!
I can't wait till he comes back.
He does NOT disappoint.{When he moved to the other stage. Mom's view, I got the back side }{Erin and I with Keith in the background. He's on the back stage.}{Keith walking past us to get to the little side stage}{Here he is pointing to me. This our little sign during concerts, him letting me know he sees me, I was standing on a chair like right in front}
End of Pictures. Cue Video Reel...

He is the cutest thing!!!
Saturday Randon and Callie arrived.
Mom, Callie, and I went to Jason's Deli for dinner before the concert.
...and then....
it was concert time.
Oh Heavens!!!
It was amazing.
I will have a separate post dedicated to Keith!
Today, we had the opportunity to meet and see how the wards are being split and to see new Bishoprics called.
I am super excited for this change.
We are now Oasis Verde Ward!

Movie Quote Friday!

Mamma Mia!
Donna: You sound like you're having fun already.
Ali: Oh, we are!
Donna: [woefully] I used to have fun!
Ali: [giggles] Oh, we know!
[Donna looks worried]
Donna: Wh-wh what are you all doing here?
Bill: I'm writing a travel piece.
Harry Bright: I- I'm on a spontaneous holiday.
Sam Carmichael: I-I-I I just dropped in to say... hi.
Sophie: [reading Donna's diary] We danced on the beach, kissed on the beach and dot, dot, dot.
Donna: Ohh my baby, with her entire life ahead of her!
Sophie: Oh *please*, I'm getting married, I'm not joining a convent!
Sophie: I wanted to get married knowing who I am.
Sky: You don't find that from finding your father, Sophie, you find it by finding yourself. Sophie: Do you think I'm letting you down?
Donna: Why would you even think that?
Sophie: Oh because, of what you've done! I mean the Dynamos, raising a kid and running a business all on your own...
Donna: Honey, I didn't have a choice. I couldn't go home. When I got pregnant, my mother told me not to bother coming back. And I wouldn't have had it any other way! My God, look at what we've had!

Father Alex: And a welcome to Donna, who's representing her side of the family.
Donna: And a welcome to... Sophie's dad... He's here.
Sophie: I know, I invited him.
Donna: How could you? I don't know which one it is... OH MY GOD... that's why they're here!
Sophie: I'm sorry, please forgive me!
Donna: I don't know... Can you forgive me?
Sophie: What? I don't care if you slept with hundreds of men. You're my mother and I love you.
Donna: Oh Sophie... And I haven't slept with hundreds of men... Sam Carmichael: Hold on! You're saying I might be Sophie's father, but she might be Bill's or Harry's?
Donna: Yes and don't get self righteous with me...
Sophie: Yeah if you hadn't left my mother to go off and get married!
Sam Carmichael: I had to go. I was engaged. But I couldn't do it and I came right back!
Donna: Wha... why... What... Why didn't you call me?
Sam Carmichael: Because I was stupid enough to think you would be waiting for me. But when I got there they told me you were off with some other guy.

today's lunch date

I had a fabulous lunch date with my cousin today.
I have loved getting to know her better and become closer friends.
It was interesting growing up.
Because there were so many of us cousins growing up
we were separated it seemed by age.
So other than "Hello's," "Goodbye's," and "How are you's?"
we did not talk a whole lot to one another.
One of the best things about growing up is that all the sudden age no longer matters.
New friendships are created and its fantastic.
Thank You for getting together for lunch.
I loved chatting and catching up.
It's exactly what I needed.

So You Think You Can Dance

Last nights episode started off horribly.
I did not care for any of the dances except for the last 3.
Melissa and Ade's piece was amazing.
Move you to tears amazing.



There is no way they are going home.
Besides that I like them both.
The other dance I really liked was Jeanine and Brandon's.



It was so hard hitting and good. I thought the did great.
and the last one was Kayla and Jason's.



At this point its really hard for me to choose.
So all I can say is I love Jeanine.
She is great.
I am honestly not a huge fan of Kayla or Janette.
They both are great dancers but its hard to connect with them.
I don't think they allow their personalities to shine through.
I think Evan did good. But it might be his time to go.
For the girl's. As long as Jeanine is still there I'll be happy.
Its getting tough!
What did you think?

UPDATE: So Janette and Jason went home.
Not too surprised with Janette but I was surprised with Jason.
